It was a cold but clear morning in Philadelphia, with runners fighting through temperatures in the 40s as they took to the streets, starting near the Philadelphia Art Museum. The course took runners through Center City and Old City, down by the Delaware River at Penn's Landing before heading back up Chestnut Street and along the Schuylkill River before looping back around and finishing once again near the museum.

The course cut through some of the most famous areas of the city, with a number of runners taking in the views:
